An FM radio station emits an electromagnetic wave which is received by a circuit containing a 3.33 × 10^-⁷H inductor and a variable capacitor set at 7.31 × 10^-¹² F. What is the frequency of the radio wave? A)1.02 × 10⁸ Hz B)8.80 × 10⁷ Hz C)1.58 × 10⁸ Hz D)9.40 × 10⁷ Hz E)9.80 × 10⁷ Hz

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of the radio wave can be calculated using the formula for the resonant frequency of an LC circuit: f = 1 / (2π√(LC)). Substituting L = 3.33 × 10^-7 H and C = 7.31 × 10^-12 F into the formula gives approximately 1.02 × 10^8 Hz.
